Phone number spoofed again....

[kbaxter60]

Given the technology available, I do not understand why the phone companies cannot detect and kill these spoofed calls.

This is what infuriates me. I know that they do have the information and the technology to shut the majority of this down. Yet they don't. So we pay ridiculous amounts to them each month to maintain a line for a device, for a phone we can't use, rinse, repeat.
It's outrageous. It needs to end. Yesterday.

Got hit w/that last week - spent the next 12 hours answering irate over 300 phone calls - apologized, explained what had happened and most accepted (and even
commiserated w/me).

Week before last, I suspect Spectrum left a port open in their email server - over a 24 hour period, I got hit with over twelve THOUSAND emails on me business email account. Had to sort through all of 'em, since I get emails from all over. Doesn't help that their online email server sucks donkey balls through a perforated straw - half the time, it won't accept the "spam" tag, so you have to do it AGAIN - and it won't let you actually BLOCK any of 'em. I'm still getting hit w/40-60 trash emails daily......

Damn!

Because they make too much money off of selling the phone numbers.

Remember when they sold your number, name and address to every marketing company? And then sold you caller ID?

50 junk emails a day because of spectrum would have me getting service from someone other than spectrum.

I remember when Radio Shack felt like they were intruding with all the information they wanted from me. Now folks hand that stuff over without even batting an eye.

That's in process - but you're talking an business email addy that's been in use for 20 years.

Try omnis.com I never had a problem with them if you're needing a new platform. Cheap and domain registration is cheap also.
